Organisational change management in South Africa : the development of a change framework and scorecard within a mergers and aquisitions environmentGlensor, Michael Colin 11 1900 (has links)
Change in today’s business environment may be seen as inevitable however in the
absence of a generic and endemic Change Framework for Managing and Leading
Change; South African businesses face a difficult task of surviving into the future unless
they are able to find an Organisational Change Management Approach that will assist
them in navigating the Organisational Change Landscape for the 21st Century.
This study provides an exploratory approach to understanding the nature of
Organisational Change Management in South Africa, by exploring the following key
concepts:
(1) An understanding of the nature of Organisational Change Management in South
Africa
(2) The Critical Success Factors needed for Organisational Change Management to
succeed in South Africa
(3) The provision of a practical Organisational Change Management Framework and
Scorecard for the measurement of Organisational Change Management processes
and initiatives
(4) Recommendations towards a Organisational Change Management Scorecard
The study which is largely qualitative in nature makes use of a multiple case study design
methodology for the collection of empirical evidence as well as quantitative research data
from a survey questionnaire to support the underlying constructs and research questions
posed within the study. The use of data and methodological triangulation, namely
research interviews, survey data, company and archival documentation as well as focus
group discussion points has provided the research study with the necessary validity and
reliability to support research results, findings and recommendations.This information should be utilized by Change Practitioners practicing organisational
change within a rapidly transforming environment, where Mergers and Acquisitions are
major force for change as it would help to provide the necessary change framework and
change scorecard for the management and measurement of organisational change
interventions.
This study also highlights the Critical Success Factors for change by focusing on the
Emotional side (Low impact) and Change Imperatives / Prerequisites (High impact) for
the management of organisational change. In addition, the study also provides a first view
of some change performance measures in the form of a Change Scorecard, which can be
used to assess the overall impact of the current change intervention being implemented. / Graduate School for Business Leadership / DBL

Stresová zátěž u začínajících učitelů a jejich copingové strategie / Stress load in beginner teachers and their coping strategiesBudil, Jan January 2021 (has links)
The diploma thesis is aimed at the issue of stress load in beginner teachers and at the ways they cope with it. The theoretical part amasses and elaborates on the information available in literature and presents the results of research endeavours dealing with the topic. As a follow-up of the theoretical part, the research part constitutes the second major portion of the paper. It is carried out in the way of an explorative research which aims at the deeper examination of the topic, at providing both professional and non-professional persons with useful information, at the formulation of new hypotheses and at the directing of future research efforts in the right way. The aforementioned aim is identical with the aim of the entire thesis as well. Based on the aim, the research itself is divided into two constitutive parts, where each presents the reader with certain kinds of information. The first part uses descriptive statistics to summarize the data amassed by the quantitative method of a questionnaire survey, whereas the second part makes use of the methods of inferential statistics in order to analyse said data and draw a comparison of two different subsets of the sample involved. At the end of the diploma thesis, results of the research are presented and used to draw a conclusion about the topic,...

Using information to provide safe care for neonatal care unit patients : Medical staff interprets their use of information and communication technologies / Informationsanvändning för att tillhandahålla säker vård för patienter vid neonatalavdelning : Medicinsk personal tolkar sin användning av informations- och kommunikationsteknikStjerndorff Gröhn, Pia January 2020 (has links)
2017 became the beginning of the Childbirth Crisis of Sweden, as a result of underbudgeting and understaffing, creating an environment where patient safety and availability was questioned. Additionally, information and communication technology rapidly take a larger role in the field of healthcare, nourishing new solutions for old processes. This explorative research was conducted to answer how information and communication technologies, and communication techniques, are used and could be used to provide safe care for patients. This study was conducted with 10 participants working as medical staff at a Swedish neonatal care unit. The medical staff who participated consisted of registered nurses, certified pediatric nurses, pediatric nursing assistants, and one nursing assistant. The approach of this research was through system thinking in the tradition of soft systems thinking. The data collection was performed with a combination of semi-structured interviews and card sorting. The collected data were processed, organized, and interpreted with the three c’s of analysis and thematic analysis. The results of this study are complemented by rich pictures. The empirical findings of this study describe a neonatal care unit known at its hospital to be the one unit holding the largest number of different devices. The medical staff at the researched NCU are using information and communication technology in a combination together with specific communication techniques, to create an understanding of their patients’ conditions. The study connects a state of safe care to the training and knowledge of the information and communication technologies, and communication techniques used at the neonatal care unit. The combination of the information and communication technologies, and communication techniques used at the NCU are vital tools, conclusive to the medical staff when providing safe care for patients. This study provides an insight into one Swedish neonatal care unit, based on the interpretations of its medical staff.
